What You Call Different We Call Them Amazing

They are all different ages, races, and backgrounds but what connects them together is that they have either a mental or physical disability. In today's society people often discourage them because of what they have, casting them as outsiders and often going to extremes to make sure that they are noticed. Hopefully parents are teaching their kids that because someone looks different they shouldn't be treated differently but sometimes that's not always the case. 

Parents of these remarkable kids are put to the test almost every time they take their child out and into the public. Seeing the starring, the faces that people make, hearing what they say under their breath, even how they act towards them. The stupidity of today's society and how they can't see how amazing these people are. They didn't ask for this and no one would. They live everyday with what they are given, making their life as normal as possible. What many people call different I and many others call them amazing! The amazing challenges that they overcome everyday is just as amazing as Lance Armstrong overcoming his cancer and winning the Tour De France. 

But why is it that people feel the need to go out of their way to outcast them? Just because they may not look like you or me doesn't give anyone the right to treat them any differently. It's a shame that the children deal with their disorder the best way they can and do an amazing job at it, but every now and again you get people that remind them that they are different. For those who continue to feel that you have to point out the fact that these kids or adults are special I ask you what would you do if you were in their shoes? Spend a day in their life, see how people look at their kids because they are different. I bet you that after that day they wouldn't treat them how they were before. 

To the amazing parents of these awesome kids and to those that continue to feel the same way that I do continue to stay strong. Don't let the ignorance of others discourage you. Stay strong because you are amazing. I apologize for those who continue to break your heart, take a stand against them and remind them that your child is not different they are amazing. If they can't accept that then they are not worth your tears.
